Thanks to its high Speed stat, Ribombee is able to reliably set up Sticky Web. Moonblast and Bug Buzz are Ribombee's best STAB moves, allowing it to deal some damage before being KOed. Reflect or Light Screen can be used to give teammates more suitability, allowing them to set up and sweep easier. Stun Spore is another option, slowing foes down even further. A Focus Sash is used to ensure Ribombee can survive a hit from faster Pokemon and set up Sticky Web, while the given EV spread maximizes its Speed and damage output.

Ribombee works best with teammates who appreciate speed control, such as Banded Dracovish, Duraludon, and Banded Darmanitan-Galar. Other good teammates are mons that can check common threats like Dragapult, Gyarados, and Corviknight that are not affected by Sticky Web, such as the Rotom formes.

As a support mon, ribombee does not need Bug Buzz, as moonblast is the better coverage option and they are walled by mostly the same stuff. I would slash Stun Spore first there with Bug Buzz being a secondary option there. This allows you to do things like Stun dragapult into webs before dying which is super useful, if you are okay with chancing the miss rate.

Since it learns both screens, you could mention a bulky dual screens spread with light clay as well, but this is not 100% necessary, sash set is probably better.
